ive also suffered with ibs for years
since shay and hes 5, but i had constipation all the time, if i ate after 7pm id get severe cramp, id be in bed doubled over in pain and worse of all when i went clubbing after id be so bad think alcohol didnt help.

anyway since keira its been better, when i was pregnant i had no signs of it, but since i have been regular to the loo although when i got to go i do have to go straight away but im not constipated anymore which is great and its mornings when i get up i have to go loo not when im out so its not bad.

see your doc who can pescribe you something, i have to find a new doctors as mines a quack before i can get mine under control fully again.

I suffer from IBS, too. Its always worse if I'm stressed out.
Tumeric is supposed to ease the symptoms although I haven't tried it.
I'm not had any episodes for agest but used to suffer really bad when I was with my ex. I was on pills but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called.
When I do have an attack, I have to make sure I go to the loo 4-5 times before I go anywhere and I have an awful stomach ache and cold sweats
